Anniversary Amore Blog Hop - Box of Chocolates

Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome to the Anniversary Amore Blog Hop!

Scrappin 2 Little Princesses is celebrating the one year anniversary of her blog and what better way to celebrate than with a Blog Hop!

The theme of the hop is Love and we'll be hopping from Feb 15th through the 17th. And we've got some great sponsors (EAD Designs, Pink By Design Stamps, and Pretty Little Studio), so be sure to stop by all the blogs and leave a comment to be eligible.

If you've hopped over from Tanya's blog, then you're in the right place. If not, then be sure to stop by Candace's blog and start from the begining.

My project is a box of chocolates. And the best thing about my chocolates is that they are fat-free and calorie-free.

Supplies:
Cardstock is Recollections
Box is 4" x 4", and 1 1/2" high.
Used MS score board to make the box and lid.
MS edge punch
Cut out heart in the center of the top and placed clear acetate behind it
Tied closed with "Raspberry/White" Timeless Twine
Tag is cut using the PBD Tag die and stamped with the coordinaing stamp set
Sentiment is from the "Say It Sweet" stamp set
Crochet Chocolates is a free pattern from Red Heart and can be found here

Next stop on the hop is Kim's blog.

Timeless Twine's Dr. Suess Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today I'd like to share with you my Designer entry for the Timeless Twine's February Challenge.

This month we are celebrating Dr. Suess' Birthday and Read Across America. I remember having all the Dr. Suess books when I was a kid, and all 3 of my kids have read his books. Reading is really important and I really had a good time searching the internet for Dr. Suess quotes, and I love the one I chose.

Since there isn't a Dr Suess Cricut cartridge, and I don't have a Cameo, I went to the internet for my images. I resized them to fit, printed them out on white cardstock, and then cut out by hand. I guess this is what we all did before these fancy machines, right?

Supplies Used:
Easel Card
Recollections cardstock
The Paper Studio "Basics" paper stack (from Hobby Lobby) patterned paper
Timeless Twine "Aqua Blue/White" and "Cherry Red/White", I twisted the 2 colors together before wrapping around
hot fix rhinestones

Challenge Details:
Theme: Dr. Seuss' Birthday and Read Across America
Colors: Aqua, Red & White
Shapes: Not so perfect...kinda like in the books (uneven lines, lopsided squares, etc.)
Embellishments: Timeless Twine of course =D (or embroidery thread if you don't have twine)
Bling (glitter, rhinestones, etc.)
Text: A Dr. Seuss quote

I'd like to share with you a picture of the Dr. Suess (Giesel) Library here in town on the University of California San Diego campus. I love that it is so unique, just like Dr. Suess!

Be sure to stop by the Timeless Twine blog to check out all the other Desinger's projects and to link up yours.
